  Still nothing?
  
  Here's another one to squeeze your brains on. The pics rather blur because of the distance. The pennant number was 76 if I recalled correctly.

  An interesting position of RSS Endurance and the unknown ship...
  
  For the clueless, they did not run into each other. Endurance was closer to my position than the other ship. (DUH)
  
  
  
  Dun hanker and complain for better quality pictures unless you willing to sponsor a telephoto lens for my camera.

  Looks like its one of RMN's older frigate, built in the 60s, now used mainly for training.
  Its either Hang Tuah, or the other one (can't rem the name though...)

  A better shot of RMN's Training Frigate KD Hang Tuah (FF (?) 76) taken today under fair weather.

  That's not for me to say. OSA or not, I'd rather not disclose that.

  I think you're stationed at Horsburgh Lighthouse, Pedra Branca. That's why can see so many ships passing through. Really strategic, huh?
  
  Next time USN carriers come by, can post it here? I'd love to have a look at them from SAF Yacht Club.

  Nice try, read the fine print.

  USNS Concord (T-AFS 5) passed by today. The US flag was unmistakeable, although the camera was unable to capture it due to the distance.

  AFS 5 Concord , Mars Class combat stores ship

  I think its quite a rare sight to see a Seawolf class MGB passing by my location today. The radar domes, 57mm Bofors gun and the twin Harpoon launchers were unmistakeable but the ship was too far away for a clear picture even with digital zoom. Aren't these boats supposed to be decommissioned?

  Maybe they still waiting for e frigates 2 become operational

  I believe this ship above is RMN's KD Mahawangsa (AOR-1504). Finally got a positive ID.
  
  There was suddenly a flurry of foreign naval activity today and I missed some because of the poor weather and the shots came out terrible (I think those two I missed were Indo ships) these are the decent ones that I managed to salvage. I need some clues or positive confirmation to the IDs of these ships. Be nice and I'll post the photos of RSS Formidable I took today.
  
  Suspected ID: A1503 KD SRI INDERA SAKTI, guess based purely on pennant number and what looked like the RMN ensign
  
  
  
  Suspected ID: F25 KD KASTURI, guess based on pennant number and the shape of the aft portion.

  Surely a Kasturi class but Kasturi or Lekir cant confirm
• spartan6

  14 Jun 06, 01:27

  First pic must be Sri Indera Sakti if e number is 1503 or Mahawangsa if e number is 1504. It surely look like 1503 2 me

  If these are confirmed as RMN ships then I think I have them spot on since I was able to spot most of their pennant numbers but was unable to capture them sharply with my camera. Now here's a transport ship that came by today.
  
  
  
  And as promised, RSS Formidable on her run.

  Paintwork looks kind of faded on the radar mast and A-gun.
